Langerhans Cell histiocytosis. [PDF]
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is caused by clonal expansion of myeloid precursors that differentiate into CD1a+/CD207+ cells in lesions that leads to a spectrum of organ involvement and dysfunction.

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis [PDF]
Adult onset Langerhans cell histiocytosis is uncommon. A 29 year old man is presented who developed classic cutaneous disease with severe systemic involvement. He responded completely to a two month course of thalidomide.

Langerhans' cell histiocytosis in adults [PDF]
Three cases of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis with unusual clinical and histopathologic features are described. The first two cases illustrate diagnostic pitfalls that underscore the importance of considering Langerhans' cell histiocytosis in the differential diagnosis of purpuric papular eruptions of the scalp and intertriginous areas, particularly in

Differentiation of Langerhans cells in Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) consists of lesions composed of cells with a dendritic Langerhans cell (LC) phenotype. The clinical course of LCH ranges from spontaneous resolution to a chronic and sometimes lethal disease. We studied 25 patients with various clinical forms of the disease.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis [PDF]
The authors present a rare case of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a 31 year old female patient with vulvar, peri-anal and oral lesions, diabetes insipidus, pulmonary skin and bone infiltrations. Skin biopsy immunohistochemistry presented positive S100 protein and vimentine, but the diagnosis was done with the demonstration of Birbeck granules with ...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis: Version 2021
Children with Langerhnans cell histiocytosis (LCH) develop granulomatous lesions with characteristic clonal CD207+ dendritic cells that can arise as single lesions or life‐threatening disseminated disease. Despite the wide range of clinical presentations,

Update on Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Pulmonary Langerhans cell (LC) histiocytosis (PLCH) has unknown cause and is a rare neoplastic disorder characterized by the infiltration of lungs and various organs by bone marrow-derived Langerhans cells with an accompanying strong inflammatory ...
